    Default Sky gets lowering springs!

    Update: These are terrible after pics, but the lowering springs are on. Eibach pro-kit 1" front, 1.4" rear drop. 100 times better stance and 10% stiffer spring rates! No more moon buggy...

    Here's a closeup before and after on the front. It's actually quite a difference, the rear is slightly more then the front.

    Tails are for shows only. No light shines through, they've got about 5 coats of factory paint on them. I'm planning on tinting the set thats on the car now, so as to keep the black theme.

    Next or looks is to smoke the front amber side markers, and 35% tint the side windows. I want to do ghost flames or something on the front. Haven't decided... hard to split the budget and make room for appearance mods. I'm a go kinda guy not show.

    Gt3071r anyone?

    Nice drop man. I don't know much about the Sky but are those factory boosted or did you boost it? How are those Generals holding up for you? We sell General truck tires, but i've seen the car tires.

    I've driven an N/A Sky, great handling, a tad bit slower than my FC in a straight line (I'm sure the 90 extra hp from the Red Line/turbo models solves that)

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Factory 260hp/260tq (torque at 2000rpm to redline) at around 15 psi. It has an adjustable wastegate from the factory though hmmmm... I've got hard pipes, a big custom intercooler, intake, lots of tuning, couple wastegate mods, and she pushes a reliable 23 psi. Motor is all forged with a structural oil pan (read: no bolted main caps, the block is stout as they get). Direct injection, lots of potential once the tuning catches up and I can accurately adjust to a big turbo. I really want a gt3071r for it


    2830 pounds with a full tank at the scale at SDR, too.
